The Wii is pretty fun, but it gets really old fast.

I would get the 360 because it's constantly coming out with entertaining games.

I'ma have to say PS3. In the long run Sony is looking to keep that around 10 years or so. Buy a 360 now and who knows what Microsoft will announce in a year.

Lmao, do you honestly think that the PS3 would even work for 10 years? Sony releases horrible products that don't last long enough. At least the XBox 360 and Wii will actually work for a long time.

Oh, ok. Don't take into account the red ring problem the 360 is having. Haven't heard anything wrong with the ps3 hardware wise, yet.

It all depends on what you rather have, a more popular system, or a system with kick-ass graphics. If you want the kick-ass graphics then go with a PS3. If you want a more popular system then get a 360.

My recommendation is the 360. Also the PS3 has free online play too which is quite fun on Call of Duty 4 and Resistance.

I think you underestimate the popularity of the ps3 now. If I recall they had problems with the servers for cod4 because so many people wanted to get on.

GET A 360!! THEY HAVE WAY BETTER GAMES

In all fairness, The PS3 had good graphics, but the 3 red lights thing on the 360 has only happened to me, and now I have an elite, i got it when it first came out


Dont say Im spoiled, I bought it all w/ my own money.

Anyway, I would tell you Halo 3, Gears, and Bioshock are great reasons fr getting a 360 (also, 360s are about $299, and PS3s are like $600, all because of a stupid thing called blu- ray)

They have a $400 version now that is 20 GB and has no backwards compatibility.

im tired of everyone saying ps3 has so many problems... name one.

10 of my close friends have 360 and five of them have gotten the red ring within the first 3 months of buying it... that sounds excellent doesn't it?

and as for eveyone saying 360 has so much more games... it doesnt.
it has gears which is fun for a day, halo 3 which is just chaos online (no strategy needed), and i have never played bioshock but i have heard it's fun for only a short period of time.

i would either go wii or PS3.

go wii if you are a diehard nintendo fan
i.e. the legend of zelda, super smash brothers, etc...

but if your more into the mature war games, and violence then get a PS3.
it is by far a better system that 360.


Oh and before people start bagging that im biased towards PS3 and not 360. I don't own either, but have played both frequently.

I own a wii, but i'm going to get a PS3 soon.
